Wu Chentian had been with Lin Yi for a long time, and even if he didn't contribute much, he'd still put in a lot of effort. Wu Gonggao was still a Mystic early phase physical practitioner, and Lin Yi didn't even help him level up. How could the hidden House Pi do that?
"I'm sorry, boss … I was a little too impatient and greedy …" Zhishan quickly apologized.
"It's normal for practitioners to pursue higher realms. How many pills do you have?" Lin Yi asked.
"About a dozen of them?" Zhishan wasn't sure. These pills were precious, but the Pi people couldn't eat them, so he didn't pay much attention. He turned to Elder Pi.
"Fifteen in total," Elder Pi said. Old Pi said, "In fact, there are more opportunities to collect more small Qi-gathering pills, but I didn't do it, because it's useless to collect them. It's better to collect something else."
"Alright, you, Zhishan, Zhihai, and Gonggao each get one, so that's four. I'll take five of the remaining eleven," Lin Yi said after some thought. He didn't expect the hidden House Pi to be so rich, to have so many small qi gathering pills.
"Ah?" Old Pi was dumbfounded. It wasn't that Lin Yi was asking for a qi gathering pellet, but that Lin Yi was saying that he was going to level up his whole family! This was something that Elder Pi couldn't accept!
Wasn't this happiness a little too fast? Even if Lin Yi asked for all of them and asked him to collect them, Elder Pi would've been more than willing! If it wasn't for Lin Yi, even a hundred of them wouldn't be enough to help his family become an Earth class early phase spiritual practitioner, let alone fifteen!
"Mister Lin, this … seems like a loss, right?" Elder Pi asked carefully.
"Loss?" Lin Yi was surprised. He thought that Old Pi was saying that it was a loss for him to pay five small chi gathering pills, but it didn't look like that. Lin Yi immediately understood what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "I see you as one of my own. In the future, when I go out, I'll need you to protect the people around me. So if you don't improve your strength, I won't be at ease."
"Then … it would be impolite of us to refuse!" Old Pi said excitedly. "How long will it take to level up? Mr. Lin, why don't you level up Zhihai first, and I'll go back and get the Lesser Qi-gathering Pills? "
"Have someone send it over. You'll be gone for too long." Lin Yi said, "If everything goes as expected, the four of you will all be Mystic late phase peak by tomorrow morning."
"By tomorrow morning?" Old Pi, Pi Zhishan, and Pi Zhihai were all shocked! If Lin Yi said that he could raise someone to Mystic late phase peak by tomorrow morning, they would be shocked, but Lin Yi said that it was four people! This made them freeze!
"If there are no accidents, it'll be fine by tomorrow morning!" Chentian had experienced the feeling of his strength increasing firsthand.
"This … Mister Lin, you've really shocked me!" Old Pi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It seems like what we know about you is just the tip of the iceberg. I understand now. No wonder Han Xiaopo of the hidden house didn't level up before, but suddenly increased his strength right before the hidden house summit. It seems like it's all thanks to you, Mister Lin!"
"I wouldn't dare take credit for it, but it was me." Lin Yi didn't deny it and nodded.
"It seems like this Pi Zhishan making you his boss was the best decision he's ever made in his life!" Old Pi sighed and looked at Chentian with envy. This guy was just a disciple of a common noble house, but he was doing so well with Lin Yi. Even in terms of seniority, Zhishan had to call him Tian Bro. After all, he was Lin Yi's follower.
"Haha, that's right- I have foresight." Zhishan said proudly.
"Those qi gathering pills, we'll take all fifteen of them- we don't have much use for the rest. Mister Lin can decide how to use them," Old Pi said. "If you need more, I'll get someone to collect more …"
"It's fine, this is enough." Lin Yi wanted to give one back to Han Xiaopo, Lingshan, Yutian, Qikun, and Faubert, making it five, but he didn't expect Old Pi to give him so many.
"Haha, we don't have any use for it." Old Pi waved his hand. "Plus, we've already taken advantage of you. If we do as you say, Mister Lin, we'll be on the same side from now on- these things will all belong to you."
"Alright then." Lin Yi didn't push it- if he had more, he could give some to Tianlong and the others. After all, Tianlong was too weak to fight against the Red Conch. He was Xiaoxiao's father- if anything happened to him, Lin Yi wouldn't be able to answer to Xiaoxiao.
"But … House Wu doesn't have anything special …" The one who felt the most guilty was Gonggao, Chentian's grandpa. He felt like he'd let Lin Yi down. When Lin Yi was in trouble, Gonggao didn't give him a single cent, and even froze Chentian's allowance. It made him feel very guilty.
"Don't say that. You have a good grandson, and that's enough." Lin Yi said faintly. He didn't give Gonggao any face, but it was the truth.
Gonggao blushed, feeling a little ashamed. He looked at Chentian awkwardly and smiled.
"Thank you, boss!" Chentian said seriously.
Old Pi sent his family to get the small qi gathering pills, and Lin Yi started leveling them up one by one, starting from Zhihai. He had nothing to do while waiting for the Miss and Shu to finish school, and it wasn't even noon yet. It was enough for the two to step into Mystic late phase peak from now until they finished school.
Out of all of them, Zhihai was the most impatient. They didn't fight with him, and Lin Yi naturally helped him level up first.
"You don't need to do anything later, just circulate your house's practitioner's arts. I'll transfer the qi you need from your meridians!" Lin Yi said to Zhihai.
